46岁的印尼籍前女佣巴蒂,因被指控偷窃而被捕,在2019年3月判刑;惟最终在今年9月4日,高庭推翻国家法院判决,改判巴蒂无罪。

高庭法官陈成安曾表示,有理由相信廖文良为了阻止女佣到人力部投诉,所以廖家父子先发制人,突然解雇女佣,不让后者有时间去人力部,并指控后者偷窃。

律政部兼内政部长尚穆根,针对上述案件表示,欣见正义获伸张。有鉴于廖文良一家和外籍女佣的悬殊身份,尚穆根强调,司法应对所有人秉公,无关乎涉案者的身份。

“巴蒂因商人(廖文良)的报案二被提控。法官依据陈列的事实作判决。法官点出了举证中链接有断裂。”

早前,包括总检察署、人力部和警方等三造,都表示将根据法官的判决,商讨是否采取进一步的行动。由于法官判词也针对警方的调查工作,警方也表示将展开调查。

尚穆根称,暂且不能再这阶段就判断哪个过程出错,民众应等待调查完成,“我们必须查出到底问题出在哪,然后负责任地解决它,这是为体制建立公共信任的方法,在检讨后告知民众将采取什么措施。”
